Canada's only been marginally better. There's evidently a latent authoritarianism in the Anglosphere that has been activated by covid. The weird thing is that it literally seems to be in inverse proposition to how bad the epidemic actually is in a place. Australia, almost no cases, makes the GDR look like a libertarian paradise. US, way more heavily affected, mostly already moved on. And its certainly not causal. The Australian repression of its citizens had all been reactionary, its not like it's actually changed the net outcome.
- AlexandrB 5y agoDo you realize that if you reverse cause and effect in your statements it might show that more draconian vaccination policies are keeping these countries from being more heavily affected by COVID? I.e. isn't it just a valid to say that: "US, way more heavily affected because it mostly already moved on". In Canada it's certainly true that the major province with the most lax policies and the lowest vaccination rates - Alberta - is seeing the most COVID infections and deaths.
